@gretathunberg I appreciate all your efforts very much.The apparent "staging" of the photos (see below) does make one question this entire event though, and only fuels naysayers - can you explain more what was going on from your POV?https://twitter.com/TVisCOOLUK/status/1615415275649699842

As part of my New Year cleanup I’ve completely revamped the way I was getting my news and finally centralised all my favourite sources in one good #RSS reader (including Mastodon tags). So far it’s revolutionised my day by reducing distractions hugely. I tried a bunch but the best solution for me was Reeder 5, much appreciation to @rizzi. (If someone knows a solid open source RSS reader that integrates really well across Apple devices please let me know!)

@noeldemartin I've been using it for a long time too (that's why there's native RSS for Moodle activities like forums!), but in recent years I drifted into checking feeds on lots of different systems every day - email/socials/YouTube/Mastodon etc. From now on, I'm going to discipline myself with intentional feeds on one reader.Other useful tools: openrss.org - they create and maintain feeds for lots of things that don't have them natively kill-the-newsletter.com - makes it easy to convert email newsletters into RSS

I am flabbergasted to discover that Samsung Galaxy watches are 100% hardwired to calories and can’t support our global standard metric unit for energy (kilojoules). You had one job.

@strypey @julian I know you know this but to clarify for anyone who might not have realised: git is open source by Linus Torvalds and is beautiful, github.com is a site owned by Microsoft and is not related to git at all.

How is this sovereign if OpenAI are involved? Answer: it’s not. #OpenAI are getting up there with #Meta as the absolute worst big tech you can use. Anything else is preferable. https://openai.com/global-affairs/openai-for-australia#auspol

@lightweight Totally understand, but on top of the development economics there are some companies that are particularly ruthless and hungry for “global dominance” while painting themselves as being merely helpful. Even in the AI field, there are plenty more ethical developers out there.
